Gives the reader an insight into the field of multiobjective (linear, nonlinear and combinatorial) programming, goal programming and multiobjective metaheuristics. This book presents 26 papers that describe various relevant trends in these fields of research and cover a wide range of topics ranging from theoretical investigations to algorithms. more...

Presents a series of models of the term structure of interest rates, covering both theory and estimation in a unified framework. Special emphasis is placed on models, which are driven by innovations that have a Gaussian mixture distribution. These models are able to flexibly capture the observed non-normality in the distribution of bond yields. more...
